>> THIS WEEK ON "JERUSALEM
DATELINE," AN EXCLUSIVE
REPORT FROM IRAQ, WHERE
THE KURDS HAVE JUST VOTED
IN FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE.
>> IF YOU'RE KURDISH, THIS
IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOU,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
FREE FROM NOW ON.
>> PLUS, THREE ISRAELIS
MURDERED IN THE
PALESTINIAN ATTACK, AND
THE WIDOW WILL LIKELY GET
A PENSION.
AND PRAYERS AT THE WESTERN
WALL.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE ON
"JERUSALEM DATELINE."
HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THIS
EDITION OF "JERUSALEM
DATELINE."
I'M JULIE STAAL, FILLING
IN FOR CHRIS MITCHELL, WHO
IS ON ASSIGNMENT IN
KURDISTAN.
>>> THE KURDISH PEOPLE,
THE LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP
IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A
COUNTRY, TOOK A STEP
TOWARDS STATEHOOD WHEN THE
2% OF KURD92% OF KURDS VOTED IN
FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE.
THE QUESTION REMAINS, WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE
EAST AFTER THE REFERENDUM,
AND HOW THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WILL
RESPOND.
>> Chris: AFTER THE
VOTE, KURDS TOOK TO THE
STREETS TO CELEBRATE THEIR
CLAIM TO A COUNTRY OF
THEIR OWN.
HOURS EARLIER, THEY TOOK
TO THE POLLS.
MANY CAME AND MADE IT A
FAMILY AFFAIR.
THESE KURDS ARE EXERCISING
THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR
INDEPENDENCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
FOR MANY, IT IS ONE MORE
STEP AND A LONG HISTORY
TOWARDS A FREE AND
INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN.
EVEN THOUGH 14-YEAR-OLD
SELMA COLO COULDN'T VOTE, SHE
CAME WITH HER FAMILY AND
EXPRESSED THE HOPES OF THE
KURDISH PEOPLE.
>> IF YOU'RE KURDISH, IT
IS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FREE
FROM NOW ON.
>> THIS IS A PEOPLE
ACHIEVING A DREAM THEY'VE
HAD FOR 100 YEARS.
>> Chris: THIS MAN
COMPARES THE KURDS OF
TODAY TO AMERICANS MORE
THAN 200 YEARS AGO.
>> THEY'RE NOT ASKING
ANYTHING FROM THE
AMERICANS, EXCEPT FOR THE
AMERICANS TO ACCEPT THAT
THE KURDS HAVE THE SAME
RIGHTS THAT THE AMERICANS
HAD IN 1776, ALTHOUGH THE
KURDISH COMPLAINTS ABOUT
IRAQ ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN
AMERICA'S COMPLAINTS.
>> Chris: THIS STATE
DEPARTMENT POSITION IS
BASED ON THE ONE-IRAQ
POLICY, WHICH WOULD KEEP
KURDISTAN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE
IRANIAN-BACKED GOVERNMENT
OF IRAN.
>> ONE, WE GIVE THEM TO
THE IRANIANS.
TWO, WE CLEA COMPLETE THE SHI'A
ARK THAT GOES AROUND IRAN
AND INTO LEBANON.
>> Chris: HE SAYS THIS
POLICY PUTS THE U.S. ON
THE WRONG SIDE.
>> TO INSIST ON THE UNITY
OF IRAQ UNDER A GOVERNMENT
IN BAGHDAD, THAT IS IRAN'S
CLOSEST ALLY IN THE WORLD,
THAT CREATED A MALITIA,
WHICH IS COMMANDED BY THE
HEAD OF THE IRANIAN
REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS, AND
WHICH IS ON KURDISTAN'S
BORDERS, AND INSTEAD OF
SIDING WITH THE KURDS, THE
TRUMP CITY IS SIDING WITH
SULEMON.
>> THE PLACE THAT HAS BEEN
PROTECTING IRAQ'S
CHRISTIANS, THE CHRISTIANS
OF THE MIDDLE EAST, IS
KURDISTAN.
>> Chris: THE KURDS FACE
HOSTILE NEIGHBORS, OPPOSED
TO THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP
KURDS, LIKE SELMA, OF
DREAMING FOR A FREE PLACE.
>> IT WOULD A HAPPY AND
SPECIAL PLACE FOR KURDS TO
BE FREE.
>> Julie: AND NOW
JOINING US FROM IRBIL IS
CHRIS MITCHELL.
SHALOM, CHRIS.
WE SAW IN YOUR REPORT THAT
THE KURDS VOTED
OVERWHELMING FOR
INDEPENDENCE, BUT WHAT
WILL HAPPEN NOW?
>> Chris: IT IS GREAT TO
BE WITH YOU FROM IRBIL,
THE CAPITAL OF KURDISTAN.
AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT
IS GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER
THE SUCCESSFUL REFERENDUM.
MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT
TWO COUNTRIES.
IRAN HAS BEEN TRYING TO
FILL THE VACUUM HERE IN
KURDISTAN, AND THAT IS AN
OMINOUS DEVELOPMENT FOR
THE KURDS AND THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE AREA.
THE OTHER COUNTRY THAT IS
VERY PIVOTAL IS THE UNITED
STATES.
I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT IF
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF A
STRONG, FREE, AND
INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN,
THEY WOULD GET THEIR
INDEPENDENCE.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
AFTER WORLD WAR I, THERE
WAS A PROMISE BY THE
NATIONS THEY COULD HAVE AN
INDEPENDENT STATE, AND
THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED.
AND YOU SHOULD REMEMBER
AFTER ISIS CAME IN IN
2014, IT WAS THE KURDS
THAT TOOK OVER THOUSANDS
OF REFUGEES, EVEN WHILE
THEY WERE UNDER SIEGE.
>> Julie: CHRIS, WHAT IS
THE RELATIONSHIP OF ISRAEL
TO THE KURDS?
>> Chris: IT WAS ISRAELI
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU, WHO IS THE ONLY
LEADER IN THE FREE WORLD,
TO ACTUALLY COME OUT AND
SUPPORT KURDISH
INDEPENDENCE.
THE UNITED STATES OPPOSED
IT, IRAN, TURKEY, AND THE
BAGHDAD GOVERNMENT, THEY
ALL OPPOSED IT, BUT ISRAEL
STOOD BEHIND THE KURDS.
AND THERE IS AN
INTERESTING.
RELATIONSHIP
BECAUSE MANY JEWS IN
KURDISTAN, WHEN THEY WERE
UNDER PERSECUTION -- IT
WAS THE KURDS WHO HELPED
THEM GET BACK THE JEWS.
THERE IS A VERY CLOSE
AFFINITY BETWEEN ISRAEL
AND THE KURDISH PEOPLE.
SOMETIMES THAT
RELATIONSHIP IS OVERT,
LIKE WHEN PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU CAME
OUT IN SUPPORT.
BUT MANY TIMES IT IS
COVERT.
THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS OF
THE ISRAELI SECURITY
SATISFIES HAVING
RELATIONSHIP HERE AND
SUPPORTING THE KURDS.
MANY TIMES THAT IS NOT
REPORTED ON, BUT THERE IS
A STRONG RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE
KURDISH PEOPLE.
>> Julie: WE SAW IN
REPORTS THAT YOU VISITED A
COUPLE OF CHURCHES.
WHAT IS THE PLIGHT OR THE
SITUATION OF THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE AREA?
>> Chris: JULIE, EVER
SINCE WE REPORTED HERE IN
2014, IT HAS BEEN A
DESPERATE SITUATION HERE
FOR CHRISTIANS.
IN 2014, THEY WERE FLEEING
FOR THEIR LIVES.
NOW MANY OF THEM ARE STILL
DISPLACED.
WE WERE IN A CHURCH
SERVICE JUST THE OTHER
NIGHT WHERE HUNDREDS OF
CHRISTIANS HAVE GATHERED,
AND THEY'RE STILL IN A
REFUGEE CAMP THREE YEARS
AFTER THEY FLED THEIR
HOMES.
SOME OF THEM WOULD LIKE TO
GO BACK TO IRBIL AND
QARAQOSH, BUT THERE HOMES
HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO TO
OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT THAT
MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE.
IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
TIME TO BE SUPPORTING THE
CHRISTIANS HERE BY PRAYER,
AND ALSO BY ACTION.
THERE IS SOME LEGISLATION
IN THE UNITED NATIONS'
CONGRESS THAT WOULD TRY TO
PROVIDE A SAFE ZONE FOR
CHRISTIANS IN THE NE NINEVEH
PLAIN.
CERTAINLY IT IS STILL A
DESPERATE TIME FOR OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
CHRIST HERE IN THIS AREA.
>> Julie: HOW IMPORTANT
ARE OUR PRAYERS?
AND WHAT SHOULD WE BE
PRAYING FOR IN THE REGION?
>> Chris: I WOULD SAY
THAT PRAYER IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU
CAN DO FOR WHAT IS
HAPPENING HERE.
NOT ONLY FOR OUR BROTHERS
AND SISTERS -- AND THAT'S
CERTAINLY THAT WE NEED TO
DO, TO PRAY FOR THEIR
PROTECTION, TO PRAY THEY
COULD HAVE A NEW LIFE,
WHETHER HERE IN THEIR
VILLAGES, LIKE IN MOSUL OR
QARAQOSH, AND ALSO THE
ACTION THAT CAN BE DONE ON
THEIR BEHALF.
AND ALSO PRAYER FOR THE
GEOPOLITICS IN THE REGION.
WE TALKED TO A NORWEGIAN
PASTOR THAT CITED ACTS 17,
WHERE GOD SOMETIMES
REDRAWS BORDERS, AND THE
REASON FOR THAT IS SO MEN
CAN SEEK HIM.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PRAYING NOT ONLY FOR
INDIVIDUALS, FOR THE
WORKERS THAT ARE DOING --
SPREADING THE GOSPEL HERE,
FOR THE PRIESTS AND THE
OTHER WORKERS, BUT ALSO
FOR THE GEOPOLITICS, THAT
GOD WOULD HAVE HIS WAY IN
PURPOSES HERE IN THIS
LAND.
>> Julie: THANK YOU,
CHRIS, FOR YOUR EXCELLENT
REPORTING FROM KURDISTAN.
BE SAFE.
>>> UP NEXT, PALESTINIANS PALESTINIANS
AND INTERPOL, AND PAY TO
PLAY, A TERRORIST KILLS
THREE ISRAELI FAMILIES,
AND HIS FAMILY GETS A
>> Julie: THE UNITED
NATIONS REJECTED WARNINGS
FROM THE U.S. AND ISRAEL
AND VOTED TO INCLUDE THE
PALESTINIANS IN INTERPOL,
THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE
AGENCY.
THE VOTE CAME AT A U.N.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING
IN BEIJING, AND PACKED 75
TO 24, WITH 34 EXTENSIONS.
BOTH WASHINGTON AND
JERUSALEM ARE CONCERNED
THAT THE MOVE COULD PUT
KEY INTELLIGENCE IN THE
WRONG HANDS, AND THAT THE
PALESTINIANS COULD USE
INTERPOL TO PURSUE
CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST
ISRAELIS.
THE U.S. HAS ALSO ARGUED
THAT PALESTINE SHOULDN'T
BE IN INTERPOL BECAUSE IT
IS NOT A STATE.
ONE ISRAELI ACADEMIC
TWEETED THAT ADMITTING
PALESTINE TO INTERPOL IS
LIKE ADMITTING AL CAPONE
TO THE CHICAGO POLICE.
>>> JUST ONE DAY BEFORE
THE INTERPOL DECISION, A
PALESTINIAN TERRORIST
KILLED THREE ISRAELIS AND
WOUNDED A FOURTH.
I TALKED WITH RESIDENTS AT
THE SCENE OF THE ATTACK,
THE SECURITY FENCE OF THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY OF
HARADAR OUTSIDE OF
JERUSALEM.
HERE IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME.
>> ABOUT 7:00 I HEARD A
SERIES OF GUNSHOTS AND
THEN I HEARD AMBULANCES
AND HELICOPTERS, SO I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS UP.
>> Julie: THAT SOMETHING
WAS 37-YEAR-OLD IMI IMIR IMIRAKMUD.
>> HE HAD A WORK PERMIT,
APPROACHED THE SECURITY
GUARD, WORKED ON HIS OWN,
OPENED FIRE, AND KILLED
THOSE THREE INDIVIDUALS.
>> Julie: BEHIND ME IS
THE SECURITY GATE, AND
BEYOND THAT, THE ARAB
VILLAGE OF STATE ZURICK.
EVERY DAY UP TO 300 TO 400
PALESTINIANS CROSS THIS
STATE IN INTO HARADAR TO
WORK IN AREAS OVER HERE.
>> HE KNEW THE AREA VERY
WELL HERE.
IF HE MADE HIS WAY INSIDE
THE COMMUNITY, HE COULD
HAVE REACHED A SCHOOL,
WHICH IS 400 METRES FROM
WHERE WE ARE, BUT OUR
BORDER GUARDS PREVENTED
THAT TERRORIST FROM MAKING
HIS WAY INTO THE
COMMUNITY.
>> Julie: JEWISH ISRAELI
RESIDENTS FROM HARADAR
WERE SHOCKED.
>> WHEN YOU HAVE AN
11-YEAR-OLD SON CALLING
YOU IN THE MORNING AND
TELLING YOU, MOM, THERE IS
AN ATTACKER IN HARADAR --
IT IS THE LIFE LOSS.
>> THE RELATIONS WITH THE
PEOPLE HERE HAVE BEEN VERY
PEACEFUL.
A FEW HUNDRED WORK INSIDE
HARADAR EVERY DAY.
>> Julie: THIS RESIDENT,
STEVE LIEBOWITZ, SAID NOW
THINGS WILL HAVE TO
CHANGE.
>> I LIVED HERE FOR 17
YEARS, AND I DON'T
REMEMBER REALLY ANYTHING
THAT MADE ME FEEL UNEASY.
IT IS LIKE A PIECE OF LONG
ISLAND OUT HERE.
>> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO WAKE UP TO A NEW
REALITY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
AWARE THAT SECURITY IS AN
ISSUE FOR US.
>> Julie: THIS RESIDENT
AND COUNCIL MEMBER SAID
THE PROBLEM IS THEY DON'T
KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO BE VERY
BRAVE, TO BRING THEM HERE.
BUT YOU SEE WHAT THEY'RE
DOING?
THEY BETRAY US.
IT IS A MATTER OF TIME
UNTIL YOU HAVE THE KNIFE
IN YOUR BACK.
WE KNOW IT.
UNFORTUNATELY.
AND IT IS NOT ALL OF THEM.
I HAD ONE PERSON WORKING
AND MY HOUSE FOR 12 YEARS.
>> Julie: WITHIN HOURS,
PALESTINIAN LABORERS WHO
WERE WORKING IN HARADAR,
WERE ESCORTED OUT OF THE
COMMUNITY.
IN ADDITION TO THE TERROR
VICTIMS AND THEIR
FAMILIES, THEY SAID IT IS
THE PALESTINIANS
THEMSELVES WHO WILL SUFFER
THE MOST.
>> THEY'VE BEEN WORKING
INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY,
MAKING A GOOD LIVING, AND
HAVING GOOD RELATIONS WITH
THE PEOPLE OF HARADAR FOR
THE LAST 30 YEARS.
AND THIS IS THE KIND OF
INCIDENT THAT WILL CUT
THEM OFF FROM THEIR DAILY
BREAD.
>> Julie: AS WE HEARD,
THE TERROR ATTACK IS BOUND
TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT
ON PALESTINIAN WORKERS.
SO WHAT MOTIVATED THE
ATTACKER?
THEY CALL IT "PAY FOR
SLAY."
HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO
HARADAR, WHERE HE WORKED.
HE OPENED FIRE ON SECURITY
PERSONNEL AT THE CROSSING
GATE, KILLING THREE
ISRAELIS AND CRITICALLY
WOUNDING A FOURTH.
HARADAR RESIDENTS WERE
SHOCKED.
>> THEY HAVE ALL OF THE
RIGHTS, LIKE AN ISRAELI,
AND THEY BE BETRAYED US BIG
TIME.
>> Julie: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU SAYS PALESTINIAN
INCITEMENT IN THE MEDIA,
SCHOOL BOOKS, AND SOCIETY
ARE TO BLAME.
FOLLOWING THE ATTACK,
NETANYAHU CALLED ON THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS TO
CONDEMN THE ATTACKS.
INSTEAD, ABBAS AS FATAH
ORGANIZATION GLORIFIED THE
TERRORIST AND SAID THE
MORNING WAS SCENTED WITH
THE FRAGRANCE OF MARTYRS.
>> THE AUTHORITY TO FATAH
IS TELLING HIS PEOPLE THAT
WHAT WAS DONE WAS A
RELIGIOUSLY POSITIVE ACT,
KILLING ISRAELIS IS A
RELIGIOUSLY POSITIVE ACT.
AND THIS, OF COURSE, IS
THE WORST MESSAGE YOU CAN
GIVE IN A RELIGIOUS
SOCIETY LIKE THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
>> Julie: THIS MAN SAYS
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
BLAME DOESN'T STOP THERE.
>> THE FIRST THING THAT
HAPPENS IS THE FAMILY
RECEIVES HONOR.
AND THIS IS CRITICAL.
THE HONOR THAT THE FAMILY
RECEIVES, EVERY POTENTIAL
TERRORIST SEES THIS AS
WELL.
>> Julie: THAT HONOR
INCLUDES PUBLIC PRAISE,
AND SOMETIMES EVEN NAMING
SCHOOLS, PUBLIC SQUARES,
AND SPORTING EVENTS AFTER
TERRORISTS.
>> AND THE SECOND THING
THAT HAPPENS IS FINANCIAL
REWARD.
IN THIS CASE, THE WIFE AND
CHILDREN OF THE TERRORIST
WHO MURDERED YESTERDAY
WILL BE RECEIVING 2,600
SHEKELS, ABOUT $800 A
MONTH FOR LIFE.
>> Julie: MARCUS SAID
ISRAEL COULD CRACK DOWN ON
ENTIRE VILLAGES, REVOKING
WORK PERMITS INTO ISRAEL.
THAT WOULD INCREASE PEER
PRESSURE NOT TO CARRY OUT
ATTACKS.
BUT THE WEST COULD ALSO
PLAY A ROLE, HE SAID.
>> THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL
STOP IS IF THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY IS FORCED BY THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO
COMPLETELY CHANGE THE
MESSAGING.
THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY CAN FORCE THEM.
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
IS SO DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN
AID.
THE UNITED STATES GIVES
THEM FOREIGN AID, THE
EUROPEAN UNION GIVES THEM
FOREIGN AID -- THEY HAVE
THE POWER TO STOP THIS.
>> Julie: MEANWHILE, THE
THREE MEN WHO WERE KILLED,
INCLUDING AN ISRAELI ARAB,
ARE BEING HAILED AS THE
REAL HEROS.
THEY STOPPED THE TERRORIST
FROM ENTERING HARADAR AND
KILLING CIVILIANS.
>>> COMING UP...A SPECIAL
PRAYER FOR YOM KIPPUR.
>> Julie: JEWS WORLDWIDE
MARK YOM KIPPUR THE MOST
SOLEMN DAY OF THE JEWISH
YEAR.
THEY OBSERVE THIS DAY WITH
FASTING AND SPECIAL
PRAYER.
CHRIS MITCHELL EXAMINES
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
PRAYER TO BOTH JEWS AND
CHRISTIANS.
>> Chris: IT'S CALLED
THE VADUI, A PRAYER OF
REPENTANCE AND A PLEA FOR
FORGIVENESS.
>> THE VADUI IS A CENTRAL
PRAYER OF CONFESSION, AND
FOR FORGIVENESS OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE ON YOM
KIPPUR.
IT IS A PRAYER THAT THEY
PRAY, NOT ONLY ON BEHALF
OF THEMSELVES, BUT ON
BEHALF OF ALL OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> Chris: REVEREND DAVID
PELEGI SERVES IN THE HEART
OF JERUSALEM'S OLD CITY.
HE STUDIED THE JEWISH
ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY FOR
NEARLY 30 YEARS.
HE SAYS THE VADUI
RECOGNIZES WHAT JEREMIAH
THE PROPHET WROTE, THAT
THE HEART IS DECEITFUL
ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND THAT
DEEDS NEED TO FOLLOW
REPENTANCE.
>> ONE THING WE LEARN FROM
THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
SOMETHING QUITE IMPORTANT,
ESPECIALLY ABOUT YOM
KIPPUR, IT IS NOT ENOUGH
TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY.
YOU HAVE TO CONFESS, SAY
YOU'RE SORRY, AND THEN AT
THE SAME TIME TAKE
PRACTICAL STEPS TO CHANGE
YOUR BEHAVIOR.
>> Chris: THE VADUI
CONTAINS SECTIONS TO BE
SAID BOTH CORPORATELY AND
PRAYED BY THE INDIVIDUAL.
THE GROUP REPEATS
CONFESSIONS LIKE, WE SIN
BEFORE YOU, WE BETRAYED
YOU, WE SPOKE FALSELY.
NOW WE WANT TO REPENT AND
ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS.
THE INDIVIDUAL PRAYS IN
PART, O GOD AND FATHER,
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
I ACKNOWLEDGE MY SINCE,
DESIRING TO LEARN WHAT IS
YOUR WILL CONCERNING ME
AND RESOLVING TO DEVOTE
MYSELF MORE FAITHFULLY TO
YOUR HOLY SERVICE.
PALEGI SAYS CHRISTIANS CAN
FIND A PARALLEL BETWEEN
YOM KIPPUR AND THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
>> WE HAVE A SEEING OF
JESUS, DON'T WE?
IF YOU BRING YOUR GIFT TO
THE ALTER AND YOUR BROTHER
HAS SOMETHING AGAINST YOU,
LEAVE YOUR GIFT AT THE
ALTER AND GO AND BE
RECONCILED WITH YOUR
BROTHER.
JEWISH TRADITION SAYS, GO
GET YOUR RELATIONSHIP
RIGHT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR,
WITH YOUR BROTHER, WITH
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER,
FORGIVE AND BE RECONCILED,
AND THEN ON THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT, WHEN YOU BEGIN
TO FAST AND PRAY, AND TO
CONFESS, GOD WILL HEAR
YOUR PRAYER AND FORGIVE
YOU, AS YOU HAVE FORGIVEN
OTHERS.
THE TEACHING OF JESUS,
WHICH IS ALSO SOMETHING
THAT IS PART AND PARCEL OF
JEWISH TRADITION.
AND HERE THE TWO LINE UP
VERY NICELY.
>> Chris: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
>> Julie: THOUSANDS OF
YEARS AGO, IN THE TIMES OF
THE JEWISH TEMPLE, THE
HIGH PRIEST WOULD HAVE
ENTERED THE HOLY OF HOLIES
JUST ONCE A YEAR ON YOM
KIPPUR.
IT WAS A TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCE AND AN AWESOME
PRIVILEGE TO STAND BEFORE
GOD FOR THE PEOPLE.
THOSE OUTSIDE KNEW HE WAS
STILL ALIVE BECAUSE HE HAD
BELLS SEWN ON THE HEM OF
HIS GARMENT.
ARCHEOLOGISTS IN JERUSALEM
HAVE DISCOVERED A RARE
GOLD BELL, BELIEVED TO BE
PART OF A PRIESTLEY
GARMENT IN THE TIME OF
JESUS.
TAKE A LOOK.
>>> THAT'S THE SOUNDS OF A
2,000-YEAR-OLD TINY GOLD
BELL.
>> AND THE MAN THAT WAS
WALKING WITH THAT BELL ON
HIS COAT, EVERYONE WAS
HEARING HIM COME, A SMALL
NOISE, YOU KNOW.
IT IS NOT A BIG NOISE.
JUST TO GIVE SOME RESPECT
TO THIS MAN.
>> Julie: ARCHEOLOGISTS
UNCOVERED THE BELL WHILE
EXCAVATING AN ANCIENT
DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
IT BEGINS AT THE POOL OF
SIGSILOUM, AND CONSIDERS TO
AN AREA BY THE WESTERN
WALL, WHERE JEWISH
WORSHIPPERS WOULD HAVE
ENTERED THE TEMPLE MOUNT
IN THE TIME OF JESUS.
>> AND THIS BELL WAS FOUND
BY THE SECOND TEMPLE.
>> Julie: THE BELL WOULD
HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO THE
GARMENT OF A WEALTHY
PERSON.
THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THE
ROBE OF AARON THE HIGH
PRIEST, SAYING, UPON ITS
HEM, YOU SHALL MAKE
POMEGRANATES OF BLUE,
PURPLE OF GUARANTY, AND
BELLS OF GOLD BETWEEN
THEM, ALL AROUND.
HEAD ARCHEOLOGIST ELLIE
SHUKRA SAYS THERE IS NO
WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE IF
THE BELL CAME FROM A
PRIESTLEY GARMENT.
>> IT COULD BE ANYONE.
BUT I THINK IT IS FROM
JERUSALEM IN THE SECOND
PERIOD.
>> Julie: HE BELIEVES
THE BELL FELL OFF THE
MAN'S GARMENT AND INTO THE
DRAINAGE CHANNEL.
>> AFTER 2,000 YEARS, THEY
WERE WALKING, WALKING VERY
HARD IN THE TUNNELS OF
JERUSALEM.
AND AFTER 2,000 YEARS, WE
FOUND THAT BELL IN THE
TUNNEL.
>> Julie: ARCHEOLOGISTS
HOPE TO OPEN THE CHANNEL
TUNNEL TO THE PUBLIC LATER
THIS SUMMER.
SHUKRA SAYS DISCOVERS LIKE
THE BELL SHED LIGHT ON THE
NATURE OF JERUSALEM IN
SECOND TEMPLE TIMES.
UP NEXT, PRAYING AT THE
WESTERN WALL AHEAD OF YOM
KIPPUR.
>> Julie: THE VADUI
PRAYER WE SPOKE ABOUT
EARLIER IS PART OF WHAT
ARE KNOWN AS THE PRAYERS
THAT FINISH ON YOM KIPPUR.
HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT YOU
CAN SEE ON OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA CHANNELS, PRAYING AT
THE WESTERN WALL AHEAD OF
YOM KIPPUR.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
[CHANTING]
>> Julie: THAT'S JUST
ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU
CAN SEE ON OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA CHANNELS.
WE WANT TO REMEMBER TO
PRAY FOR THE CHRISTIANS IN
THE MIDDLE EAST, THE
KURDISH PEOPLE, AND ALL
THOSE IN PUERTO RICO,
MEXICO, FLORIDA, AND
TEXAS, WHO ARE STILL
SUFFERING IN THE AFTERMATH
OF THE DISASTERS THERE.
AND REMEMBER THE GOD THAT
IS WATCHING OVER ISRAEL
AND YOU AND ME, NEITHER
SLUSLUMBERS NOR SLEEPS.
THAT'S IT FOR THIS
EDITION.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
REMEMBER YOU CAN FOLLOW US
ON Facebook,TWITTER,
INSTAGRAM, AND
